VNC's one desktop is a limitation based on the fact that Windows does not have built-in support for running multiple concurrent sessions. If you run VNC on Linux you can get as many simultaneous sessions as you can handle.
Well it's not truly an apples-to-apples comparison but for users from a functional standpoint, the difference is minimal.
Why would I run a Windows emulator?
To run the win32 app I need.
Why would I run WINE?
To run the win32 app I need.
Of course there are other reasons to use emulators (testing/development environments come to mind) but it seems that it's better to see WINE in reviews than NOT see it, eh?
Maybe you should stop complaining about spelling and start posting something worth reading.
What, and post insightful, dialogue-provoking conversation like YOU do? You who have had an apparent net moderation of 0? And who have created a grand total of 0 replies?(until I herein fell for your troll and replied. Sigh.)
I'd probably make a pitiful mess of posting in Spanish, French, or Japanese, so guess what? I don't do it. If you're not comfortable with English, go read elslashdotto.org 'News for Nerditos stuff that matters en espanol'.
Well I didn't post it, but I'll second it. "Digitaly chalanged"? WTF? You have no fingers? you're SPELLING challenged. It has nothing to do with technical "compitance".
Here's a clue:
Of your three words Dumb, Digitaly, and Chalanged, the only word you spelled correctly was DUMB.
How true this is. 5 minutes of down time on the NYSE will make the evening news. This is a great point for Linux to be 'proven' to many people, OR for our beloved penguin to get much egg on his face.

True. Try walking out of any building other than a church, go up to a cop, and say, "Do you have a toothpick? I've just had some human flesh and blood, and some flesh is still stuck in my teeth."
What I do with the bandwidth on my T-1 is my business. If I choose to give it away, that's my business. There's nothing "parasitic" about it.
Parasitic refers to the Wireless clients 'sucking' bandwidth off of you, the T1 owner. Not all parasites are necessarily evil. Only if those clients also run a host somewhere is the relationship 'symbiotic'.
Good point. In fact ISP have been suspending/terminating accounts arbitrarily for years. It used to be that people were complaining they WOULDN'T take enough action to shut down portscanners etc.
Then only reason this is even news is that now people can shout DMCA! DMCA! I'm being repressed!
Debian does the work, 100 times better than any other distro, and don't even get me started on distro wars.

"no"

Sorry but businesses are recognizing the CHEAPNESS of open source not the power.
Sorry but RTFA, Mr Coward. Do you really think that Hollywood movie studios are strapped for cash? Think they're looking to cut corners to keep spending down? I'm sure the studios are all saying "well this solution would give us the BEST special effects possible, but hey Linux is free, right?"
For the love of God, think before you post. And I don't don't mean think, "Oh yeah, better hit 'Post Anonymously'".
You really need to watch out for run-on sentences, and contradictive ideas in each of your thoughts. Reading a JonKatz essay is like reading a Dr.Suess book - backwards.
You just need to learn the frolicking, pseudo-intellectually self-aggrandizing, aggrivating, writing style that Katz uses, not to actually convey his point, but in a crazed effort to replace the period with the comma, that same period which must have been used to beat him like a red-headed stepchild when he was a boy, always finishing the 'sentence' by stating that [AOL|Microsoft] is evil.
Does this mean that boards that force you to register must let you post anonymously if you want that option? It could mean deep trouble and changes in the works for them. It could also be a catalyst for renewed flamewars via AC's all over the net.
Yeah right. Like you have some RIGHT to post anonymously to MY server. The case tested the right to defend anonymous postings from being exposed due to court order, not everybody's right to post everywhere anonymously. RTFA.

Excellent idea! I have a good design concept for the icon:
